Why Knockshannoch is Perfect for Families

Self-Contained and Comfortable Rooms

Knockshannoch features multiple, welcoming rooms that are perfect for families. Not every family looks the same so our lodge offers a variety of rooms from romantic couple-friendly queens rooms to family den rooms that fit up to four. While our rooms aren’t as big as other lodges, we focus on the community aspect of staying at a small lodge. We encourage families to spend time in the spacious dinning/lounge room which allows kids to play freely while parents enjoy some downtime, creating an environment that feels like a home away from home.

Ski-in, Ski-out so you can hit the slopes, hassle-free!

Knochshannoch Ski Lodge is one of only a few ski-in, ski-out lodges in Charlotte Pass. Located directly across from the Ticket Office / Gear rentals, we are truly the heart of the Village. That means no need to lug heavy gear up hills to get to the lifts and runs. You’re able to simply go out the front door, click your boots in and head off down to the T-bar. This makes lift much easier when wrangling little ones…
